Description
Privatizing state, local, and federal services has been a tradition in the United States for many years (Hayes, 1994). Privatization occurs when government sectors transfer partial or full responsibility for a variety of public services to the private sector (Bendick, 1985). By using grants, purchase-of-service contracts, and reimbursement mechanisms, a complex partnership was developed between governments and private, nonprofit agencies to deliver a wide range of human services (Abramovitz, 1986; Gilbert, 1986; Salamon, 1993). The purpose of the study was to determine whether public housing developments operated by private sector, for-profit property managers were perceived as providing higher levels of social support than those operated by traditional public housing managers. This was done through comparative assessments regarding the availability of, utilization of, and resident satisfaction with social services.
